Nvidia has been powering the AI(ML) progress for the last 10 years and it's because they have the best hardware/software combo for processing vectors. There's nothing lucky about being continuously dominant in a space (GPUs) for 15+ years.

VRAM is king. If you have the VRAM to hold the model parameters, you can run it.

fast.ai course (https://www.fast.ai/) gets a thumbs up from me as well

I appreciate how these folks released after the model was already on Hugging Face.

It's possible, but the AI space right now is all about the vibes and even the French President isn't feeling it[0]. The job market for AI/ML people is white hot right now and this is something Mistral has to try to explain around in an interview. I hope they do well despite it.

is it really HN worthy if one guy blocks another guy on X?

Mistral is in France though and the EU is throwing cold water on "AI" at the moment. I think this hurts them in the long run.

This is either false or just a shit show of a business. I’ve done work with several credit unions. They operate their IT just like any other business. The NCUA doesn’t make IT decisions for them.

Absolutely positive GitHub commits are down globally

TLDR: It was a mistake and they unblocked it as soon as they found out about it.

I wonder if the laws will be written in a way that we can get around them by just dropping the “AI” marketing fluff and saying that we’re building some ML/stats system.

Elephants have very sensitive ears. The buzzing of a hive is what drives them away.

While it may be hard to see in first world countries, imagine being in a third world country and having a place you can store value that can't be debased by your crackpot dictator. That's huge.

Try it. Use your hand to hold your eye lids up and see what happens.

edit* if you're talking about other means of persuasion, it's the same risk factor as if you had a PIN to unlock it.

Just close your eyes. The Face ID on an apple device won't unlock if you have your eyes closed.

Is 'carbon neutral' still a talking point? I thought we had moved on to being 'water positive'.

mine was miles

How are you going to decide who doesn’t get any power after you reduce the output of the coal plant?

500+ miles means I can just charge up on the weekend and not be bothered with it during the week. I'd pay for that convenience.

I can't speak to Venmo/Cashapp, but Zelle does take backs. It's for specific areas of fraud such as the fraudster impersonating a government official/agency, or things like fake not for profits.

Your money is located somewhere and your recipient has their money located somewhere. The places where your money sits needs to interoperate with whatever "thing" you're using to send money. Presuming that your money sits in a bank/credit union, you arrive at the quoted statement. If your money is paper in a sack somewhere, you can mail it, but it might not make it all the way.

Not for Zelle/Venmo/etc.. Zelle is for P2P (person to person) and FedNow is for A2A (account to account). There are no take backs on FedNow so it's not intended to be used for P2P. No take backs means no recourse for fraud etc.. FedNow should supplant ACH waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the line.

I put a lot of thought into how I would respond to your comment, and I'd just like to say Roll Tide.

How about that Excel thingy?

Mid 80s Chuck e Cheese was peak birthday fun. I would be totally spent by the time we made it to the ticket counter.

Pretty sure it was Sam that went to Congress to get a moat built.

Harvard receives public funds from the government. Assumingly, if Harvard chose to no longer receive those funds, they wouldn't have to comply.

A GPU specializes in Vector math, which is what is used in gaming graphics. Hence the name Graphics Processing Unit and it's original use case. It just so happens that LLMs are powered by vector math much like graphics applications are.

Ok, hear me out. Take Salesforce tower and convert the floors into shopping/office/restaurant/apartments. One building that I would never have to leave unless I wanted to. I think that would be awesome.

I watched a documentary that proposed eating mushrooms, and the ensuing hallucinations that happened, as the cause of our Neanderthal ancestors developing free thought and the underpinning of creativity that lead to tool development.
